FALL WHEELBORROW

Hi Everyone ...........

I havent been too good on and off for a couple of weeks now . It's just the pain from my Fibromyalgia , but it doesnt half effect how you feel , not just physical but mentally ! ..Hence i havent been doing to much card-making , but i have managed to finish a card that i have been making for Autumn / Halloween . I used a digi stamp from Karen's Doodles , which is one of her 'freebies' . I coloured in the image using my cosmic shimmer watercolours and then cut it out using a spellbinders die . I used a dark brown card for the base card and layered it using orange then a cream card . The leaves i made using spellbinders dies which i then coloured using distress inks , then added a orange ribbon . Now i've left this one till last ! The image i layered on a background which i made myself with 'Tim Holtz' Ranger Alcohol Inks . I took a sheet of acetate , which i cut in half , onto this i first squeezed some 3D CRYSTAL LACQUER , then took the Alcohol inks ( i used 4 different colours ) and added drops randomly until i covered the area . This doesnt use as much as you think as the drops spread . I also randomly dropped some glitter in places as well , you dont have to do this but the glitter does catch the light and it looks really good . I have also used Mica Powder although i didnt on this one . I then took some white tissue paper and laid it on top and tapped it down gently with a piece of kitchen towel , you need to use something as it does get very messy on your hands if you dont . Then i left it to dry . Once dried i cut out the size i needed . Quite a few photo's for this one . Hope you like it . Well that's it for now ... Take care love and hugs Melita xx
